- MantelMount MM700 Premier Fireplace TV Mount Pull Down Bracket for 50"-90" & 25-115 lb Televisions Above Mantel with Sound Bar Attachment, Paintable Covers & Safety Pull Down Handles

This is a nice tv mount very heavy duty and the pull down is smooth. Did take some time to install but mainly because I wanted it perfect. Was on the pricey side but will definitely last from the looks of it.

This tv mount provides all the options I was looking for: tilt up/down, turning left/right and vertical positioning. The mount comes with 4 lag bolts to screw into studs which makes it very sturdy. I could not use all 4 lag bolts because I had a single stud in the middle of the wall. I could only use two lag bolts but that was an allowed configuration in the instructions. The mount can hold up to a 90”, 115 lb TV and has hydraulic piston to maintain the position of the TV. I like the possibility of upgrading to a bigger, heavier TV without needing to get a new mount. I thought the installation was easy and the instructions were clear. Definitely read the instructions, take measurements and find your studs before you start drilling into studs. The arm is kinda heavy, but that’s understandable since you need steel to hold +100 lb TV. Once we hung the TV on the arm, it was pretty easy to secure and adjust the hydraulic piston assistance. Yes, it cost more than $400, but I would rather spend the money on a quality mount than find my TV broken on the floor and my wall messed up because I was too cheap.

We struggled with whether or not to put our tv above the fireplace for several reasons. The height being one of the primary issues since we’re used to a lower viewing height. This product solved the problem very nicely. It’s sturdy, a bit tricky to install but works well once it’s in place. Our only complaint would be how far the tv sits off the wall when retracted. It’s a good 6” and all the black hardware is visible from the sides. I have a wood stud right in the middle where the main mechanism needs to mount so recessing the unit is not an option. The only solution is to design and build a frame around the tv that hides the unit but we’ll see how it goes. Similarly, when the tv comes down it really does come out quite a bit. In our case almost 16 to 18 inches. We have to keep the sofa back further than we intended. Something to consider depending on your room setup. All in all though I’m pleased with the product. I hope they keep refining the product to be even more minimal in the future. Fireplaces and tvs are here to stay.

Wonderful! This mount does all it claims to do easily. Yes it is a little costly but I think in the long run it will hold up and be worth every penny spent!

Purchased this for my 75 inch TCL OLED. Looks awesome. It' is sturdy and it works very well in terms of making it easy to bring the TV out and down past the mantel. Really upgraded my living room because previously we had the TV in a weird spot because it was so big. I mounted it into the brick fireplace w/ concrete sleeve anchors (lag shield). Rock solid. Glad I bought the MM700 because my TV weighs 80 lbs. The only difficulty was that the soundbar wings did not fit my soundbar. Luckily I was able to modify the horizontal brace by drilling an extra hole and that made it work. With some ingenuity you will do the same. I was impressed with the customer service. I called in with a question, left a VM, and they called me back within 30 mins. They were polite and professional. Love the product.

We had been wanting to eliminate the TV credenza taking up floor space in our family room, but were reluctant to mount the TV above the fireplace. The reason being that we have 9-ft ceilings and the mantle and hearth are higher than most. This would require mounting the TV at a height that would be awkward and uncomfortable to watch. Then I discovered the Mantle Mount and thought it presented great possibilities for solving our problem. It was, admittedly, a bit difficult to mount, as we have a brick hearth that extends all the way to the ceiling, meaning that I had to find and install anchors into the brick with sufficient strenght to support the load from the TV extended out from the surface, and the mount itself. Fortunately, I'm pretty capable at this sort of home construction activity, and was able to drill into the brick and install the right anchors. We've had it in place for at least a year or more, and have had zero problems with it. We love the fact that we can pull it down to watch TV at a comfortable height--even when the gas fireplace is turned on--and simply push it back up when we're done. I would highly recommend Mantle Mount, but make sure you have someone who is qualified to install it, or include the cost of hiring someone into your budget.

Excellent product and transaction. Does the job on a 65” LG OLED TV. The pressure cylinders must be adjusted for the weight of the TV and a deluxe Bose sound bar. The sound bar had to be zip tied to the lower handles (a perfect fit) as the sound bar had no screw holes for mounting.

This product does NOT work on our Samsung TV. Of course, we weren't able to figure that out until after taking down the TV from its old mount and then spending hours trying to affix the sound bar that won't fit because the stupid rails shipped with the mount are not long enough. Of course, we had already mounted the wall bracket and damaged the wall before we figured this out, so now what doe we do? Buyer beware: this does NOT work with all TVs. There should be a list of incompatible TVs or a compatibility listing on the description. Very disappointed in this product and, even if it did work, it's WAY overpriced for a simple frame and a single hydraulic cylinder.

MUY RECOMENDABLE SI TIENES LA TV ENCIMA DE LA CHIMENEA Y QUIERES BAJAR SU ALTURA. HEMOS RECIBIDO EL PRODUCTO EN TIEMPO Y EL MONTAJE HA SIDO SENCILLO Y HA QUEDADO PERFECTO. SE VE MUY SÓLIDO Y LAS PRUEBAS ESTAN SIENDO GENIALES, EN ESTABILIDAD Y FACILIDAD. ESPERAMOS QUE CON EL TIEMPO SE MANTENGAN LOS MUELLES EN BUEN ESTADO Y SIGAMOS TENIENDO ESTA BUENA VALORACIÓN.

Great product

Works good, feels a little wobbly when moving the tv, it’s definitely sturdy but they could have used thicker mounting brackets that attach to the TV. Other than that I’m happy with it. Only thing you have to watch for is how far out your mantle comes, mine is 16 inches so we had to mount the TV almost to the ceiling so the arm could extend all the way down. We just keep it down all the way. 75” 85lb TV mounted

I'm looking at a mount that right now is having my TV hit the ceiling. Follow the instructions at your peril. I meticulously followed the instructions and each measurement, drilled massive holes in my wall and after 5 hours of construction the TV hit the ceiling which it should have been 1.75" away from it. I was able to lower the TV by an inch while it was up by shifting the brackets on the back of the TV, not "officially supported but the only way to do it without redrilling holes as they offer now actual vertical adjustment option, and it still hit the ceiling. So 2.75" off, no vertical adjustment provided other than start again from square one. Brutal design. Several errors and inconsistencies in the instructions do not help. For example, 2.1 says" measure...to the bottom of the TV/sound bar". The image on the left has the measurement going to the bottom of the TV (but not the handle which also has to clear the mantel) whereas the image on the right has it going way below the handle. 2.2 and 2.4 say to use the "lower wall plate holes" however both images clearly show to the bottom of the bracket and not the holes. A $75 Ikea shelf has better instructions than this. I'll decide tomorrow whether to package the hole thing up and return it (painful) or go through the hassle of removing it and then guessing how much lower it needs to go (also painful).
